Its official we are flying out Monday morning 8/24/09 for Eric's bone marrow transplant! Here we go...we are scared but know we need to move forward in order to get our "normal" life back. We are so grateful to Eric's donor although unknown to us at this time we look forward to the day when we can wrap our arms around him and let him know how truly grateful we are!
We are so grateful to Eric's mom who without her I do not know what we would do! Her unselfishness and unconditional love has been overwhelming to us. She is so willing to come and put her life on hold and stay with the kids without a second thought- she amazes me! You really learn alot about people through trying times like these- no one wishes this upon anyone but the acts of love and kindness are amazing.
Eric's work and the law enforcement brotherhood they talk about is something to be seen! They have been so supportive and caring right from the start, asking what they can do and always wanting to do more. They have been doing several fundraisers on behalf of Eric and we found out they are doing a BBQ/ Motorcycle ride on 9/12/09 in honor of Eric. Wow!! Eric would have loved to be there and see all the love and support!!! He is speechless but as you know he would do the very same for anyone!!
Please continue to pray for Eric, for strength to get through the bad days and hope that the marrow will graft into his body and this can be the start of another beautiful chapter in our lives. We have been doing all the "bucket list" kind of things for months as a family; you know the things you want to do just in case! We really have packed in a lot of great memories....oh how I pray the Lord will give us more, more time for those!
We love you all and thank you so much for all the love and support! I will update this often; it kind of is a journal for us now! We pray for comfort on the hard days, peace, and tender mercy from the Lord. This is a hard journey we are starting, sometimes it feels a little alone but pray for the strength to move forward. I hope one day I get to post one final post on this blog that says" We did it!!! Eric is cured!"
